"Thanks Bill, that's a nice solution which still uses the Scott FM portion!"

"Hi Bill, Could you expplain the differences between the 2 versions? I'm assuming the analog one is based on a TV tuner, but have not heard of the digital one. Thanks, Karl"

"Agree with Kent, I could not find any link to view the list of items."

"Hi Robert, sent you a Friends request so we can PM. Yes I'm interested in the complete set, and, if the converter is not spoken for, I'd like that as well. Thanks, Karl"

"Robert, probably premature, but keep me in mind if you decide to sell the Philharmonic. It's in better shape than the one I have... Thanks, Karl"

"Scott or Robert, if either of you could provide a scan or template for me that would be most appreciated. Karl"

"Thanks Robert, well then count me in as needing one also!"

"Robert, I don't have either of the covers for sale, but my AM FM Philly only has the entire bottom cover, on mine it looks like there never was a smaller cover. Could you post a picture of the area that should have the smaller cover? Maybe…"

"Hi Mike, I had the same idea as you, and I happened to see your post. NIce!  In my case I would only need an inch or so and like you, if I paint it black or even try to match the cabinet finish and maybe add a bit of trim that would hide it…"

"Karl, the philharmonic is a deep chassis, it will hang out of the cabinet a little, I used a Tasman cabinet that originally housed an allwave 23' the Philly stuck out about an inch or so, I made a removable frame to cover the chassis I also…"

"Thanks for all the replies. Robert Feenstra had mentioned that his Philly sticks out about an inch in the back of his Wellington. Mine would too, a little over a half inch. Since I'm starting with a new face board, I was thinking of placing it…"

"LOL ! Looking at that mic, although it is set for the dreaded Metric system, if you look above, at the inch scale, and at the 7 layers of solid wood in the plywood, it looks like a high grade, or aircraft grade 3/8" plywood."

"Scott, this has got to be one of the most boring photo's ever, it' an off cut from the plywood I used for my philharmonic  A shade under 9mm (sorry it's metric again) Mike"

"Mike, we have imported Baltic birch- sweet stuff.  9mm isn't common in the lumber yards, but I see it is available via mail order in smaller pieces.    I thought you meant to use the birch and stain it without applying a veneer…"

"Sorry Scott I forgot myself, I used 'That' birch ply as it was the nearest size I could get, the 1/4 inch stuff over here is all coarse filler inbetween the surface veneer, I used 9mm birch with walnut veneer on one side, used hot hide…"
